US EditionWild Mind Ales Plans to Close Along with Daytime Coffeehouse
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 22 – BrewDog will close 10 bars due to unprofitability, risking over 100 jobs as part of a strategy to focus on larger, destination and community bars, CEO said.
- Brewdog revealed plans to shut down ten of its pubs throughout the UK by July 26, 2025, among them its main venue located in Aberdeen.
- CEO James Taylor described the move as a deliberate strategy to shift the bar division’s direction in response to ongoing challenges in the UK hospitality sector, such as rising expenses and stricter regulations.
- Taylor explained the bars' size, location, and other factors made them commercially unviable and keeping them open would pressure the wider business and hinder growth.
- Brewdog's revenue grew to £321.2 million in 2022-23, and it pledged a minimum 14-day consultation for affected staff despite criticism over some receiving just three days' notice.
- These closures reflect Brewdog’s effort to transform its bar division for long-term growth amid scrutiny over workplace culture and leadership changes since its 2007 founding.
